I need to download that sometime. I was actually listening to it for part of the broadcast (ie when I remembered it was on), before setting off for a quite memorable day of dining with my mother, whom I'd invited to the city for the weekend.
The edits you note do sound a bit odd, I'd agree - still, every version of the Guide's always been different, so I'm pretty cool with it either way, even if some lines have rather become ingrained in the popular psyche, like the whole Arthur Dent exchange with Mr Prosser. ^_^
Did you see the live tour a year or so back? Superb. Again, another retelling - but damn, how cool does it get? Almost all the original cast, up there on stage, performing live just feet away.
